This sounds a little fishy to me. I just had my entire HVAC unit replaced because of a freon leak but I pretty much knew it before I had a tech come out to confirm it for me and I went ahead and replaced my unit. When the tech measured mine freon, it was some very low value but not 0 psi.
I have to wonder if the tech attached the gauge in the right valves to get a reading of 0 psi. I'd think the minimum would be 1 psi as that's equilibrium with the surrounding air. Also, how would he know if the leak is somewhere inside the walls in the lines? The most common points for leaks are usually in one of the coils so it's interesting for him to immediately point to the problem inside your walls. With the guy coming out to see you fashionably late, questionable usage with the gauge, refusing to do any work and making excuses, it sounds like this guy is pretty incompetent. Like you said, it was a 2 star on yelp so maybe it was well earned.
I'd suggest you get a second opinion like others have recommended. I strongly suspect that it's the motor on condenser unit as my old unit had the same thing happen a few years ago. My compressor sounds like it was still running but the fan was not moving. The problem was the run capacitor was shot and after replacing it, my fan was moving again and it bought me a few years before I went ahead and replaced the thing. The run capacitor looks something like this and should be visible on the condenser unit after you remove the panel. Pretty easy to get to and diagnose if that's the problem. Just make sure you get the appropriate capacitor for your unit and turn off your power if you plan on diagnosing it yourself.

maybe this can help as well
I'm having trouble finding which capacitor I need for this unit :(
Would this one work?
